[Togashi Udo]

Udo considers this.

"Duels are very important in the Empire. A lot of trust is placed in one. If the Heavens are deciding the outcome, what matters a little skill or distraction?"

[Asako Yuki]

"The heavens do not always intervene, Togashi-san. Or maybe they do, and appreciate that talent one has for the art of iaijutsu, so being skilled gains the heaven's favor." Yuki shrugged a little, not entirely certain herself.

[Togashi Udo]

"Hmm." Udo thinks for a bit. "It seems like a very important discipline."

[Asako Yuki]

"It has decided the course of the Empire many times." Yuki agreed with a nod. "More often than any other, perhaps, but I'm sure one of my cousins could cite some time that ikebana changed the course of the Empire as well." Yuki smiled at that.

[Togashi Udo]

"The wings of a butterfly... who can say what was the first change that set the winds to blow."
